GOD"S WILL:
~
God’s will most often happens in spite of us, not because of us.
We may try to second guess what God has in mind for us, looking,
searching, hypervigilent to seek God’s will as though it were a
buried treasure, hidden beyond our reach. If we find it, we win the
prize. But if we’re not careful, we miss out.
That’s not how it works.
We may believe that we have to walk on eggshells, saying, thinking,
and feeling the right thing, while forcing ourselves somehow to be in
the right place at the right time to find God’s will. But that’s not true.
God’s will for us is not hidden like a buried treasure. We do not have
to control or force it. We do not have to walk on eggshells in order to
have it happen.
It is right there inside and around us. It is happening, right now.
Sometimes, it is quiet and uneventful and includes the daily
disciplines of responsibility and learning to take care of ourselves.
Sometimes, it is healing us when we’re in circumstances that trigger
old grieving and unfinished business.
Sometimes it’s grand.
We do have a part. We have responsibilities, including caring for
ourselves. But we do not have to control God’s will for us. We are
being taken care of. We are protected. And the Power caring for and
protecting us loves us very much.
If it is a quiet day, trust the stillness. If it is a day of action, trust the
activity. If it is time to wait, trust the pause. If it is time to receive
that which we have been waiting for, trust that it will happen clearly
and with power.
